My version of the Sea Shanty. Only the video has been shot and edited by me. The audio is sourced from royalty free source.

My first attempt at shooting Star trails. Due to ship’s movement in water, the trails aren’t as steady as one would see from results shot on land.

23 years at sea and I finally get to see the majestic Aurora borealis (Northern lights) in Barents Sea. Trust me, this video doesn’t really do justice to the real experience.

This time-lapse was shot on the night of 11th Sept 2018 off Norwegian north coast.  I have used a GoPro Session 5 camera to shoot the image sequence, which was used in making this video.

Colorful!

This image was shot at a local literary fest ‘Sanatkada’, which also had a ‘Weaves and Crafts Bazar’.

The fest was held at the beautiful ‘Safed Baradari’.

Valar Morghulis!

‘Valar Morghulis’ is a greeting said in the High Valyrian language (TV Show ‘Game of Thrones’), which literally translates to “All men must die”.

This image was shot at Fatehpur Sikri and in fact shows the graves of the family members of the saint ‘Salim Chishti’ buried there. These graves are well over 500 years old.

The illusion of speed!

Supertankers are such slow moving behemoths that speed is only an illusion!

In this image the long-exposure is only simulated. I’d shot a four minute video and extracted frames from it which were later combined during post processing to yield this result.

Bagore-ki-Haveli

Bagore-ki-Haveli is a monument in Udaipur in Rajasthan state in India. It is right on the waterfront of Lake Pichola at Gangori Ghat. Amir Chand Badwa, the Prime Minister of Mewar, built it in the eighteenth century

As is apparent, this image was shot across the lake from a restaurant. I wasn’t carrying my tripod with me, but thankfully the ‘nifty fifty’ (f/1.8) did the trick here.

The sharpness of details at f/1.8 has even surprised me.
